Toward a neuro-developmental account of the development of declarative memory

摘要: The study of the biological bases memory has a long history. Based on research with patients specific lesions and disease, animal models, neuroimaging studies, neural substrate that supports declarative in adults been relatively well articulated. By contrast, studies development is its infancy. Yet joint consideration processes involved building trace, time course structures involved, contributed to generation predictions regarding sources age-related change. Specifically, there are suggestions infancy very early childhood, encoding consolidation account for substantial variance long-term memory. With development, locus variability vulnerability traces shifts later-stage storage retrieval. These insights afforded by multiple levels analysis, from behavioral. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
